  • Debbie

    “Perfect cottage in a great location - being near the main road did not impact our stay at all.”

    Plenty of space to relax and had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds. Lovely owners who left us an amazing cake and some treats for our dogs.

The property

Sourton Down 1.3 miles.

Two Shoes Cottage is an appealing, two-bedroom holiday home located in Sourton, a little village on the outskirts of the Dartmoor National Park in the picturesque county of Devon.

This home welcomes four guests and two dogs for a tranquil, rural retreat to the Devonshire countryside with tasteful, rustic décor, a well-presented, open-plan living area, and fantastic proximity to nearby amenities and attractions.

Make yourself at home in your new lodgings by whipping up a tasty, home-cooked meal in the fully-equipped kitchen area. Then, settle down to enjoy your culinary creations with your loved ones at the dining table or gathered on the spacious corner sofa while watching a film on the TV, all the while being kept warm and cosy by the crackling embers of a woodburning stove. Alternatively choose to settle in the first floor living space (with larger TV), approached via the mezzanine library area: enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside or watch the sun set over Bodmin Moor.

In the evening, retire to one of the two inviting bedrooms, one of which is a super king-size with an en-suite bathroom, where you can relax and get ready for a welcome night's sleep.

Outside you'll find a pretty cottage garden with flower beds, plus a small lawn and patio area, accessed via the lower ground floor.

You can take a break from cooking by visiting one of the nearby country pubs that serve home-cooked meals, or you can visit the market town of Okehampton. There is a bus stop just outside the property with regular buses to Okehampton and Tavistock, a world heritage site with a popular pannier market. Okehampton is a charming town best known for its impressive Okehampton Castle, as well as the scenic Meldon Viaduct and Nine Maidens stones circle.

The cottage is an ideal base for exploring Dartmoor National Park with a variety of walks, including the West Devon Way, Dartmoor Way and Two Castles Way just across the road. There is also the option of cycling and walking along the Granite Way and local walks to Lydford and surrounding villages.

Exeter, a charming and historic city worth visiting, is within easy reach by car, train and bus and a great place for exploring and shopping, with a variety of boutiques and high-street stores to browse.

Make Two Shoes Cottage your home base for any activities you decide to partake in while visiting Devon.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1103740, together sleeping 8 guests.
